Dual Martial Spirit Possession
Dong! Dong!
The Tyrannosaurus Rex that Ji Xiao had transformed into finally managed to stabilize its body with great difficulty.
At this moment, both of his feet were deeply sunk into the ground, and in front of him were two ravines extending tens of meters forward.
These ravines were formed when Ji Xiao forcefully stopped his own retreat.
At the same time, the dragon scales covering Ji Xiao's body were cracked in many places. The most serious damage was on his right shoulder, which was visibly deformed and twisted.
All of this was the result of the head-on collision with Yuhao just now.
Although the injuries were not fatal, they were nothing compared to the shock in Ji Xiao's heart.
Because he never expected that Yuhao would not only withstand that terrifying collision, but would even have enough power left to knock him flying and injure him.
Ji Xiao stared in disbelief at Yuhao, who was standing in place, his feet also slightly sunken into the ground.
To be honest, if he did not know Yuhao's true identity, he would have thought he was facing a powerful soul beast.
And not an ordinary one—but at least a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.
On Yuhao's side, things were not as relaxed as they looked.
After forcibly enduring Ji Xiao's full-power impact, his qi and blood were churning violently, and his soul power was in a state of near chaos.
If his meridians were not extremely tough, and if treasures such as the Gold of Living Beings, Ice and Fire Immortal Pills, and other accumulated foundations were not working together at the same time, he might have already spat out a mouthful of blood.
Yet the excitement on his face could not be concealed.
Because no matter what, just now he had confronted a Titled Douluo head-on—and knocked him flying.
And that Titled Douluo possessed a top-tier beast martial spirit.
The reason he could achieve this was first and foremost because of Golden Dragon Overlord Body, which had tripled his defensive power.
This caused Yuhao's already terrifying physical defense to soar to a level comparable to that of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast for a short period of time.
It was precisely because of this that he was able to withstand Ji Xiao's collision.
As for why Ji Xiao was knocked backward, that was due to another terrifying feature of Golden Dragon Overlord Body.
It could absorb the opponent's attack power, transform it into Yuhao's own strength, and then release it in a single devastating counterstrike.
In other words, the reason Ji Xiao was sent flying hundreds of meters away was equivalent to him suffering the full force of his own collision.
"Interesting… this is what makes it interesting."
Yuhao leapt out of the pit and shouted toward Ji Xiao on the opposite side:
"Come again!"
Being openly provoked like this made Ji Xiao, a dignified Titled Douluo, feel intense humiliation.
However, he did not rush forward recklessly.
Because from the previous clash, he already understood that the Yuhao before him was far more terrifying than he had imagined.
Although Ji Xiao had realized Yuhao's danger from the very beginning…
He still underestimated him.
"Boy, you are very strong—extremely strong. Even though I already held you in high regard, I still underestimated you."
Ji Xiao spoke calmly as the Tyrannosaurus Rex form gradually faded and his human body reappeared.
Then he continued:
"But I won't make that mistake again. From now on, I will treat you as a true opponent."
This was also the reason Ji Xiao chose to withdraw his martial soul true form.
Although the true form of a martial soul possessed explosive power in every movement—each action comparable to a powerful soul skill—the consumption of soul power was also terrifying.
Even with Ji Xiao's deep cultivation, prolonged use would quickly exhaust him.
Now that he truly regarded Yuhao as an opponent of the same level, he naturally became cautious.
Moreover, Ji Xiao could only display his maximum combat precision and technique while in human form.
Seeing Ji Xiao return to human form, Yuhao did not feel surprised, but a trace of vigilance rose in his heart.
Hum—
As Ji Xiao's soul rings flickered, his figure suddenly vanished from its original position.
However, this could not escape Yuhao's perception at all.
Yuhao's gaze shifted downward instantly.
"Below!"
The moment Yuhao realized this, the golden dragon wings on his back flapped, and he shot straight into the air.
Almost at the same time, the ground where he had just stood exploded apart, and a brown figure burst out from below.
It was Ji Xiao.
If Yuhao had been even a moment slower, he would have been caught in that attack.
Ji Xiao clearly had no intention of letting Yuhao escape. He stomped heavily on the ground, and his body shot upward like a cannonball, charging toward Yuhao in midair.
Whoosh—
A sharp sound tore through the air as Ji Xiao appeared instantly behind Yuhao.
At the same time, his sixth soul ring lit up.
Ji Xiao raised his right hand, which suddenly transformed into a massive brown dragon claw that tore toward Yuhao.
Ji Xiao's sixth soul skill was a powerful technique that could partially transform his body into the true form of his martial spirit.
Even after reaching the seventh ring, this skill still retained tremendous value.
Its soul power consumption was far lower than that of maintaining a full martial soul avatar.
Hum—
As the claw descended, the surrounding space faintly trembled and distorted.
Although Yuhao did not expect Ji Xiao's speed to be this fast, he still managed to react in time.
Swish!
Yuhao turned into a streak of golden light and escaped Ji Xiao's attack range in an instant.
"So fast."
Ji Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, unable to help but sigh.
However, his assault did not stop there.
Ji Xiao opened his mouth, and a yellow energy sphere condensed rapidly within it.
The moment Yuhao landed, Ji Xiao released the shockwave toward him.
If Yuhao had not reacted quickly and activated Golden Dragon Body in time, he might have suffered serious injuries.
Looking at Ji Xiao hovering in the air, Yuhao touched his chin and muttered:
"With my current strength, defeating a Titled Douluo head-on is still very difficult."
Hearing these words, Ji Xiao almost laughed out loud.
But what happened in the next moment caused his expression to change dramatically.
Yuhao suddenly tore off his tattered upper garment, revealing the Ice Emperor–Dragon Emperor Scorpion tattoo on his back.
As streaks of green-golden light shimmered, the tattoo emitted a faint glow, and one of Yuhao's eyes turned a deep green-gold color.
The Ice Emperor Dragon Emperor Scorpion martial spirit possessed him!
Ji Xiao could clearly see what Yuhao was doing, and it was precisely because he could see it that he felt disbelief.
"Dual martial spirit possession?! How is this possible?!"
Although twin martial soul owners possessed two martial spirits and could obtain eighteen soul rings with entirely different combat systems…
There had never been a precedent of simultaneously unleashing the power of both martial spirits.
Yet Yuhao was doing exactly that.
As one red soul ring and two orange-golden soul rings lit up, Yuhao let out a low groan.
Even though his body had reached the level of an almost flawless golden body, simultaneously bearing two super-tier martial spirits—the Golden Dragon King bloodline and the Ice Emperor Dragon Emperor Scorpion—was still an enormous burden.
Fortunately, the Golden Dragon King was a bloodline martial spirit rather than a conventional one.
Otherwise, this would have been impossible.
Even so, the pressure on Yuhao was immense.
After carefully sensing his own condition, Yuhao murmured to himself:
"About five minutes."
Five minutes was short.
But Yuhao believed—
It would be enough.
